About Bone Soup
Parents need to know that this "spooky" tale is really not that spooky at all. The Halloween beasts, even the ghouls and werewolves, are pretty friendly-looking, though the cauldron of bone soup with its eyeballs, toenail clippings, and dried mouse droppings may turn a stomach or two.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about why the townspeople hid all their food when they heard Finnigin was on his way. How did he trick them into sharing with him? Why do you think they didn't think of it in the first place? What do you think about the soup he made? Do you think he was right when he said the soup was better when eaten with others? If you have read the original Stone Soup, how does this story compare? If you haven't, now might be a good time to dig out a copy and enjoy it too.
